More Info on Gen. Kelly Being Removed from Air Force One Today

[louis c]

I read a tweet about this about 13 hours ago, here on DU

This is new and more information released about a half hour ago (7:00 PM EST 10/4)

<snip> Although the White House initially refused to answer her questions about this rather awkward move, Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders eventually said that there's "nothing to read into here," explaining: He is basically always on the manifest. Sometimes he travels, and sometimes he doesn't. An important caveat, of course, but Huckabee's explanation did not prevent Scott Dworkin from tweeting that not one, not two, but three people have told him that this may very well be General Kelly's last week as Trump's chief of staff.<snip>

1. Cheeto don't surf

[BigmanPigman]

2. Who will go first, Kelley or Tillerson?

3. Same Day and with Mattis.

8. Mattis is hanging on for the troops

4. Interesting, but...

...I don't hang on Scott Dworkin's words.

6. 3 sources in story.

[Saboburns]

24. Actually there are zero sources in Dworkin's story

I follow Dworkin on Twitter and have for months. I have read all his tweets since the 2016 election. All of them.

Dworkin and I are on the same side, we both hate Donald and all things Republican.

But he posts LOTS of stuff. The majority of which does not come to pass.

Dworkin saying that 3 different people told him something, in which he names none of the 3, is not having 3 sources.

Dworkin tweets things to #1 gain more followers, #2 get mentioned anytime and anywhere he can. He tweets things that sound wonderful to my ears, he tweets things that fill me with joy, he tweets things that are too good to be true.

I am not a troll, I am not a Republican disinformationist, I am not telling you that Dworkin is wrong in this case.

I am telling you that I have followed him and read all his tweets for a year.

Dont bet the farm on something Dworkin tweets.

Thats all I am saying.

26. I stopped following him a few months back

He seems like the type who tweets for followers and attention.

27. I guess thats a pretty honest assessment. Cant fault you for it. nt

[madaboutharry]

5. Seeing the photo at the link

reminds me that Kelly always as a look on his face like "What the hell am I doing here?"

[JI7]

7. If kelly goes will they bring back some of the bigots he got rid of ?

[democratisphere]

9. This isn't funny at all.

If these guys get fired or resign, who will control the insanity and chaos within the WH. This is dangerous.

[MyOwnPeace]

11. I'm with you..........

GAWD, who can we begin to count on to keep things even remotely sane and safe?????

[Ilsa]

23. I agree completely.

Not having cool heads in there, people who understand the world, govt, and military, is dangerous. Little Jared, who thought he could play spymaster, would have everything dumped in his lap. Dangerous shit as we watch our govt fall apart. Exactly what putin wanted.

The problem is that NO ONE CAN REIN IN THE MAD MAN.

[Duppers]

29. Sen. Corker would agree. nt

[procon]

10. We're doomed, folks. No way around it, Trump will start WWIII in a fit of pique,

and no one will stop him.

[yallerdawg]

12. This is going to be a very interesting 'Friday Dump.'

He could rationally flush his entire cabinet now for one thing or another!

Kelly, Mattis and Tillerson have formed a cabal that reassures Congress we aren't descending into chaos at the hands of a moron!

Sessions and Carson have both crossed the Dotard.

Everyone else has been flying private everywhere they go - a terminable offense.

VP Pence may be safe - holds the "Get Out of Jail Free" card? But I bet Ryan would do a deal!

[BootinUp]

13. Adding that Huckabee lies 100% of the time.

[ms liberty]

14. This is just not good, not good at all. n/t

[elfin]

15. Prediction - Hope Hicks next COS

Let the salacious rumors begin.....

[rurallib]

18. they started months ago

[elfin]

22. True - I should have written "ramp up" instead of "begin." EOM

[lindysalsagal]

16. The Incredible Shrinking Administration, aka, "Honey, I Shrunk The White House."

I imagined this would happen. No one works for a rabid dog.

[bdamomma]

17. This not good at all

He wants to be a fucking dic...tator like his heart throb Putin.

He is flushing out everyone.....not good.

[A Brand New World]

19. Didn't Trump pull that nonsense when he fired Priebus -

pulling him off a plane? Or was it Spicer? The craziness just keeps on & it's getting hard to keep it all straight.

[Leghorn21]

20. Priebus came back early from the Vatican vacay. (Spicer stayed, but was not allowed to meet

the Pope). Who can remember how long after that Priebus got canned? - not me, World - oy!!

Our brains are mush, which is pretty much the way putin/dugin/surkov want them to be.

goddamit

[smirkymonkey]

21. Not looking good for Kelly.

[kacekwl]

25. It does amaze me how anyone would

want to work for / with this administration. What's the motivation ?

[Mopar151]

28. Lining their own pockets would be one...

Building up the resume', hoping that there is something left of the Republicans after this fiasco.

Building "cred" with the New Right (New Riech?) crowd, so your blog and brand can become a lucrative side hustle. See Newt Gingrich

the pocket liners.
